Hey, this ones a bit off topic, but you’re a bunch of clued up guys & I’d like some advice. I’m an anti mafia activist & I sometimes have trouble with criminal hackers. I used Mailvault but they were into it in a single day! Yahoo! have strong connections with the organised criminals. Who providesthe most secure free email?http://community.channel4.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/503603557/m/9910018204

If you want truly secure e-mail, learn how to use OpenPGP encryption and exchange information with people using it. For free, you can use Mozilla Thunderbird, with the Enigmail plug-in along with GnuPG.

That's as secure as it gets. But you need to read... it is worth it for security.

Feel free to ask more questions and I'll assist where I can... If you are interested, there are tons of areas to look for information on OpenPGP... You can use Google, search for Security/Encryption in Yahoo Groups, or good 'ol usenet (though it is a full of trolls and spammers).
